10 Struggles the Technologically Challenged Can Relate to

"Old school". "Old Soul". I've heard it all. I'm more of a pen and paper kind of girl and I swear, technology is out to get me. Doesn't matter if it's my iPhone, television, laptop, updates and I are oil and water.

1. Update? Again? Didn't we update yesterday?

2. *Typing midterm paper due at midnight and computer randomly decides to update on it's own*

3. 99% of the time I don't understand the new update. Just when I started to get a grip, I get thrown into the abyss of the latest iOS.

4. *Has Geek Squad on speed dial*

5. *Tries the puppy dog eyes, the pretty please with the cherry on top, and all the stops to get tech support from the squad*

"Seriously? You haven't figured it out yet?"

6. All these lovers finding each other on Tinder, match.com, e Harmony, and I have a hard enough time maintaining a decent Facebook profile picture.

7. I don't know how to avoid those random friend requests with no mutual friends.

8. I prefer real life awkward conversation over sliding into the dm's any day.

9. I want the book in my hands. E-books give me headaches.

10. Waiting for updates to finish...

Don't get me wrong. Technology has its benefits and is extremely useful. But for the technologically challenged (me), more often than not, it's a pain.

To those who celebrate, you just spent an entire day cooking an elaborate meal with all of your favorite foods. You probably ate your body weight in pumpkin pie and mashed potatoes. What happens now? Oh yea, Christmas. It’s time to take out all of the decorations and Christmas themed things that have been sitting in the attic since last year; it’s time to make a reappearance.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
